I'm really not sure what to feel about all this.
On the one hand...yay! The Legion is finally coming back! And getting their own cool special .
On the other hand...obviously there's the Bendis factor. Now, I can enjoy Bendis' work in its own right and I think he has some interesting and grand ideas for the Legion here, but as has been posted on numerous occasions the Legion seems so outside his wheelhouse that it's not even funny. I mean, Bendis can sometimes barely keep a together a team book with six characters, and you give him a 34-man team? His sales on Wonder Comics and the Superman books also indicate that this isn't necessarily going to be a strong seller despite his name being attached to it.
I've also seen some of the Legion designs and...honestly not crazy about most of them.
Glad to see the Legion coming back but between the Bendis factor and the not so great character redesigns I think I'll pass on this one for now. Maybe I read it on DC Universe or Hoopla later if I feel the need. Honestly though I don't think Bendis does cosmic stories very well to begin with and the quality of his work takes a hit whenever he takes on to many books at once.

Oh my goodness gracious! I've been bamboozled!

Oh god those character designs for the Legion look so bad. That Chameleon look like he is straight out of the animated series from a few years ago. The only one that even looks half good is the Shadow Lass the rest are just horrible. Sook's art just look so basic even in the preview compared to Scott and Cheung. I would be so exicted if either one of those artists was on the new Legion book, but not Sook.
I wanted to get into this thread before all the moaning and whining and get the speculation going on about who (the most unlikely but familiar face to DC fans) is going to essentially be our tour guide during this two part comic.
I think it looks great! I'll admit I am not a huge Legion fan but this has me interested more than any other Legion book I poked my head into.
All the costumes seem to have the same problems the NU52 costumes did with all the random lines on the costumes which just makes them look both busy and messy for no reason. Brainy just look weird like he is wearing some formal version of a costume and that weird crown thing just look dumb. Chameleon Boy just look bad. Why they modeled him on that bad animated series look just baffles me when his more classic look has always been one fo the best in the series.
I love Shadow Lass and Cosmic Boy's designs! Garth would look fine with different hair.
